Not yet. Still busy around looking for new living place. Once settle will go have a look.

Which fabric to recommend? For long working hours type.
*
Not sure which one they have in MY.
The one I tested at the showroom I’m not too sure which kind of fabric was it but I chose the one with Balance fabric, extra 30k yen option (~rm1.2k).
I think there’s like 4-5 fabric type to choose from

Still waiting for it to arrive but after it arrives on Sunday, I can feedback on the Balance fabric for 16+ hours working in non AC condition laugh.gif

On the other hand, I was also looking for Haworth Fern, I think similar to the Embody but a lot cheaper here, but couldn’t find any showroom to test. Only have herman Miller and ergohuman here, and the most comfy for home use is the Embody IMO

Fuhhh, you at Japan ?

Why that Japan quoted yen.

Yea, in JP. Too bad I don’t live in big cities (Tokyo, Osaka, etc.), so it’s really very hard to find showrooms for office chair

Not sure whether Trax bangsar have multiple options for the fabric plus the ultra long wait time for the chair

Hello,
I bought a 2nd hand like new Haworth Zody on carousell and looking to sell it. Just got it today and it is basically brand new. No sign of usage even on roller.
It is basic version with Lumbar support, fixed arm rest, seat pan adjustment and tilt lock. No forward tilt.
Selling for RM1000, can pm me for photo or check carousell link where I bought it from.

I am on the journey of looking for suitable chair, bought it today to try and some thought below:
It is very comfortable chair, foam is comfy and soft, back mesh is soft and not firm like aeron.
Back rest feels better than aeron but seat is too warm for me as I dont like to use air conditioning.

I am in PJ if anyone looking to try the chair.
Cheers and stay safe.

I’ll ask my sibling whether he wants one, also in Sri Damansara, so should be able to travel over to test

I am using ErgoPro myself from Evis, bought last year approximately around August - September.

I am pretty OCD person myself and I do wipe down the chair a lot. But there's one place that I cannot reach which is HERE (picture below).
I checked with Evis, they said they cannot remove the mesh seat or anything. So how am i supposed to clean this area?  doh.gif
Because it's mesh seat, and when you start shaking the chair or violently jerk the chair, the dust will start to fall off to the floor.

I can only think of using water to wash the entire chair down? Or buy compressed air and blow them out of the are.

Any ideas?

Fancy voiding warranty? icon_idea.gif
U can disassemble the chair and clean the particular part most likely it doesn’t involve anything with the gas cylinder, hence making it simple as removing a couple of screws, etc.

For example I cleaned my seat fabric the other day, all it take is just 4 Torx T40 screws, then the others are pretty straight forward

Been using SecretLab chair for ~6 months now. Bought it since many of my friends and online reviews said it's good.

It's really well build and sturdy. However I feel that this chair is not the best in terms of support and extended use with the pc (whether office work or gaming). Compared to the steelcase and HM chair in my office, the SecretLab falls way short.

Lumbar support is not great, headrest must use the pillow (without pillow CMI) but even with the neck pillow its not great. I honestly can't sit down on this chair for >2-3hrs at a time.

If I were to choose again I'd look elsewhere.

Price bracket also diff for gaming chairs and HM/Steelcase laugh.gif

Plus if HM, it never stops at the chair, later u realised u need to adjust desk/get a new desk, everything laugh.gif

That's true, but SecretLab for ~RM1800 I would top up some for SteelCase after my experience with it. Chair does look cool though laugh.gif

any advice  on how dealing sweat with chair? sometime feel like to sit after sport lol.

Mesh chair should be ok kut or just throw a towel on top of the chair before sitting on it..

Otherwise if your chair can remove the fabric like this, then u can do whatever u want since if u soil it in anyway, can wash

The non-transferable warranty I just get to know about it from the Carousell seller also. I asked about the warranty and he said it’s to contact him and he will ask the supplier. And one of his reasons is that most parts only covered up to 5 years in actual fact. It’s 1K difference from Trax prices and comes with the headrest.

Here I’m thinking, if I’m gonna buy such an expensive chair, I should just invest in authorised dealer despite it being 1K more and probably another 1K I need to look at if I want to fork out for the headrest. So that I will forever have a peace of mind.

But on the other hand, that seller is able to quote at least RM2K cheaper, and with the Atlas Headrest, quite a steal too!


What would you do yourself?
*
if can wait (10+ weeks?) n price diff not too huge, just buy new from AD..paying for piece of mind.

if can't wait, condition very good, pricing also ok, just buy used. the chairs even without warranty are made to last.
worst case if one of the part broke, just order the specific parts to replace, the HM chair (embody in my case) is pretty easy to service

10+ weeks? Trax told me they will restock in about 1~2 weeks or so.
yeah, i guess just go big or go home. The authenticity is 100%.
*
oh, that's great..unless there isn't much to customise or they restock full spec, etc.
For the embody, basically can customise quite a number of parts

I don't think there is any fake HM, just garbage warranty as hjh87 mentioned laugh.gif

QUOTE(hjh87 @ Aug 15 2021, 08:54 PM)
Same situation, I still contemplating whether to order it through Shopee. If it a real HM, mean it a direct from factory or it targeted for china market.
Haha true just pay more for piece of mind, but being Malaysian can only say that warranty actually does not work well over here.

When come to claiming warranty, Malaysia's seller will 1st try a way to push the blame on buyer and void the warranty.

Ordering the parts for replacement is one of the solutions, but again won't be easy in Malaysia where AD might not entertain.
By the way, what the material used on your HM Embody? Steel, Carbon or Graphite?
*
yup, warranty in MY is usually hit n miss. even AD might not entertain returns within 30 days for HM in MY laugh.gif

graphite color for both base and frame, black for the balance fabric
can never go wrong with full black

Cool, saw the new HM Logitech Embody and it kind of special with a blue back  drool.gif .
*
Ah, yea, the "gaming" version have the blue back. essentially it's the same chair but it has quite a few differences:
i) logitech version vs pre march 2021 version, Logitech ones have 10mm foam on the seat pan and the back also has extra foam (many complains regarding this one as the back foam kinda dig into the back, haven't tried this version so can't verify for sure)
ii) logitech vs post march 2021, post march 2021 version has a scrim foam layer, also 10mm to make the seat pan more comfortable.

fabric wise, better try them in person, I didn't like the default one, the sync I think, too slippery and not that breathable IMO. I opt for the balance fabric which was much more durable, breathable n cushy

Guess Ikea Markus isn't for me as I am just slightly over 160cm, guess my head won't touch the headrest.

I heard mixed reviews saying Gaming Chair is good, or isn't good. What's the general consensus here

My budget is between RM400 to RM800

I actually just bought this (link below), but after one week, the cushion flattens if I sit longer than 20 mins, and I need to move my butt for it to be comfortable. I am thin anyway (50kg) and it has this problem

Rm 400 chair
